Ya messed that one up !     How can 'The FIRST side of a triangle is 8m shorter than the FIRST side'  be true???

z= second side

z-8 = first side

4 (z-8) = third side

z + z -8 + 4 (z-8) = 26

6z - 40=26

6z=66

z=11            second side         z-8 =  3   is first side    third side 4(z-8) = 12

If you've ever taken SCUBA lessons you would know that each 33 ft is another ATMOSPHERE of pressure increase.....Just an FYI.....

58.7-14.7  = 44 psi allowable increase

44 = .44 * x

x = 100 ft  maximum allowable depth to NOT exceed 58.7 psi

The '5's and the negative sign cancel and you are left with   6

Final blend amount of basil is  16 (30%) = 16 (.3)

Initial amount of basil is    x(.2)

amount of basil added is  (16-x)(100%) = (16-x)     (it is pure basil)

x(.2) + (16-x) = 16(.3)

.2x +16 - x = 4.8

-.8x = -11.2

x= 14 ounces

16-x = 2 ounces of pure basil added to 14 ounces of 20% basil will result in 16ounces of 30% basil  

What 'answer' are you asking about ??

-5  /  (1/3)   =  -5  x  3/1  =  -15

That should read:

If it's an English quiz, then things aren't looking too good for you.

150,000 / (1/4) = 150,000 x 4/1 = 600,000
